First time growing spuds, I always thought potato flowers were white
and fairly insignificant. Mine are a lovely pale purple with an
orange centre, variety is "Tesco New Potato"! Saw them sprouting in
the store, bought 'em and continued chitting them. Don't know why,
but feel quite chuffed with them.

Got them in a stack of tyres (4 deep) and they're about 3 feet above
the top of those!

------------------------------
The flowers are quite normal and do vary with each variety. Commercial
potato 'seed' growers identify rogues by their differing foliage and
flowers.
Be aware that fruits may follow looking very similar to tomatoes but are
poisonous.
Deadly nightshade etc. is of the same family.
